[Chapter 10, Zombie Town (Part 1)]

When entering the secret room of Spades 2, Xiao Lou carefully observed his surroundings.

In front of him was a long, deserted street. The street was wide. Except for many abandoned vehicles on both sides of the road, there were no obvious obstacles that would block his escape route.

Creatures like zombies have very strong attacks, and you will definitely suffer losses in close combat with them. However, it is not difficult to avoid the pursuit of zombies - they move slowly, and you can ensure your own safety by speeding up so as not to be overtaken by zombies.

However, Xiao Lou ran a hundred meters and found that he had thought too simplistically.

This town has a large population, and after the virus spread, everyone turned into zombies.

As he ran, more and more zombies smelled the scent of living people and surrounded him.

The road he is on is called "People's Street". It is very wide and should be the main road of the town. The sign at the end of the street has the sign "← Central Hospital/Grand Theater → Science and Technology Museum/Xiushui Park".

To reach the hospital, you must turn left at the end of Renmin Street.

However, there are a large number of forked roads and countless shops in Renmin Street. There are zombies patrolling almost every forked road, and in many shops, there are also zombies trying to crawl out.

Of course he won't lose in a simple race with zombies. But the problem is that no matter where he runs, there are zombies nearby that are alerted!

At first, there were only four zombies chasing him, but after running a hundred meters, the number of zombies chasing him turned into more than a dozen. From the store on the left, a zombie child with his face covered in blood just ran out; from the alley on the right

, there were also two zombies who turned their heads after smelling the smell...

If this continues, the number of zombies will only increase.

If a zombie suddenly comes out of a fork in the road and accidentally scratches his skin, it will be over.

He doesn’t want to be infected by the virus and become a zombie forever in the 2 of Spades secret room!

As Xiao Lou ran, he quickly thought of countermeasures in his mind.

The rapid running made him breathe quickly, and he could clearly hear his fierce heartbeat in his ears. However, due to his high concentration, his thinking was clearer and sharper than usual.

He noticed that there was a tobacco and alcohol supermarket open on the corner in front.

The tobacco and alcohol supermarkets at the entrance of the community are small businesses, with an area generally within 60 square meters. Even if there are zombies, there won't be too many of them. If it doesn't work, he can also use tool cards to clear the place.

He must give himself an independent space.

Xiao Lou took a deep breath, quickly took off his obstructive coat and threw it into the trash can. He quickly ran into the tobacco and alcohol supermarket, slammed the glass door with force, and quickly locked it from the inside with his hands and feet.

He turned around and observed the interior of the supermarket with vigilance - sitting in front of the counter of the tobacco and alcohol supermarket was a slightly fat middle-aged man, his head drooped to one side, only half of his flesh was connected to his neck, and he was holding a pack of cigarettes in his hand, probably

The original owner of the tobacco and alcohol supermarket.

Hearing the sound of Xiao Lou rushing into the supermarket, the zombie stood up awkwardly and turned to look at him with only half of its head still attached.

But the next moment, the zombie saw a sharp fruit knife in his eyes——

Xiao Lou raised the knife and dropped it, his movements were decisive and crisp!!

Originally, only half of the zombie's head was connected to the neck. Xiao Lou slashed with the knife, and the skin and blood vessels were cut off, and the head rolled to his feet.

His movements were too swift. Before his head moved, the zombie didn't even have time to see clearly what the person in front of him looked like.

Xiao Lou put away the fruit knife, his heart beating incredibly fast.

This was his first time killing anyone - no, the thing in front of him couldn't be called a "person" at all.

As a forensic doctor, Xiao Lou knows every structure of the human body.

If it were a normal human being, he would have died long ago if the main arteries in his neck were severed. The middle-aged man in front of him had all the blood vessels on the left side of his neck broken, only half of his head was connected to his neck, the blood in his body had been drained, and all his brain cells had died——

The man has no consciousness and is just a dead body. The reason why he can still walk is because a special virus is driving his body.

Facing the dead body, Xiao Lou didn't need to hesitate at all. He took out a fruit knife and instantly cut off the other person's neck as if he were dissecting a corpse.

After clearing away the zombies in the tobacco and alcohol supermarket, Xiao Lou breathed a sigh of relief.

He is not good at fighting. He can kill one zombie, but letting him fight against many is simply asking for death. To get rid of the zombies, you can only rely on skills. The cards obtained by clearing the heart level and diamond level can finally be used.

Got it.

The fruit knife just now was the tool card he pulled out of the card bag - the murder weapon used by Zhao Sen to kill Zou Xiaomei in the 2 Hearts secret room.

Xiao Lou quickly opened the card package.

He calmly summoned Tao Yuanming and asked Tao Yuanming to activate the skill "Peach Blossom Spring".

Peach Blossom Spring needs to be read for 10 seconds, and the reading process cannot be seen, otherwise the release will fail. He ran too fast just now, and the zombies were temporarily unable to catch up with him within 10 seconds, which was enough for Tao Yuanming to successfully release the skill.

Xiao Lou looked out through the glass door. The slow-moving zombies were slowly gathering in his direction. He took a deep breath to calm down and counted down silently in his heart - 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5,

4,3,2,1——

It's now!

The entrance to Peach Blossom Land appeared, Xiao Lou quickly put Tao Yuanming away, took out rose perfume and sprayed it on himself, then opened the glass door of the supermarket and rushed out as fast as a 100-meter race——

Rose perfume, C-level card, fixed reward for clearing the Heart 2 secret room. There is a sentence in the card description: Spray the perfume on your body to attract all targets within 30 meters to smell the fragrance and approach you.

This tool card actually has the function of "attracting monsters".

Zombies react slowly and sometimes cannot sense his presence from 30 meters away. When he gets close, a sudden attack from behind or from the side will catch him off guard.

Therefore, Xiao Lou simply used rose water to assist - attracting more zombies from further away.

Being chased by a dozen zombies is already very embarrassing. If you attract more zombies, wouldn't you be digging your own grave?

Xiao Lou doesn’t think so.

Instead of fearfully hiding from zombies one by one, it's better to play a big game and get rid of them all at once!

In a desolate town, a young man was walking as fast as flying. His figure was running down the long street like the wind. When he ran to the corner, he was about to be overtaken by the zombies nearby. The man's fingertips flashed with cold light, and he suddenly threw

A special effects card——

Nine palace grid.

A 3m x 3m nine-square grid is generated on the spot, and zombies who step into the area are collectively immobilized for 9 seconds!

Xiao Lou successfully controlled a group of zombies behind him and continued running forward.

9 seconds is enough for him to run a long distance.

However, while he was running, the rose water would attract new zombies. He narrowly avoided the zombies' pursuit. Once there were too many zombies, he would throw out a nine-square grid to immobilize a large area of ​​zombies.

His movements are agile and calm, and his escape route is very clear——

At the end of Renmin Street, turn left, destination: Central Hospital.

Xiao Lou quickly arrived at the entrance of the Central Hospital and walked around in front of the outpatient hall. All the zombies in the outpatient hall were alarmed, and more than a dozen zombies rushed out!

Sure enough, there are the most zombies at the end of the mission.

Xiao Lou did not enter the hospital. He attracted all the zombies in the outpatient hall and continued running forward!

Further ahead is the Grand Theater.

This is a three-story building. Judging from the fact that the virus spread in the town late at night, there should not be many zombies in the Grand Theater.

Xiao Lou held the Jiugong grid in his left hand and a fruit knife in his right hand. His whole body entered a first-level alert state and he walked into the Grand Theater with high vigilance——

Sure enough, the number of zombies was less than he imagined.

Xiao Lou breathed a sigh of relief, used a fruit knife to kill the two zombies at the door, and walked quickly to the stage in the center of the Grand Theater.

A moment later, hundreds of zombies chasing behind them poured in like a tide!

The scene is so chilling that people with trypophobia would probably be so sick that they would vomit.

But Xiao Lou was extremely calm. He stood alone on the stage of the Grand Theater, looking calmly at the group of dead bodies.

All the zombies stumbled through the passage and surrounded the stage of the Grand Theater, grinning and drooling at Xiao Lou.

However, at the moment when they were about to swarm up and have a feast——

The slender young man on the big stage suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Zombies: "????"

Hundreds of zombies stared blankly at the empty stage, all in a daze.

***

Xiao Lou appears in Peach Blossom Spring.

At the moment when he was surrounded by zombies, he took out the card Tao Yuanming again and triggered the effect of the skill "Peach Blossom Spring".

He really teleported into the Peach Blossom Spring.

Looking around, the mountains and fields are covered with peach trees. At this time, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, with pink petals flying in the wind. The whole scene is as beautiful as a dream. The gurgling stream plays sweet notes in the ears, and Tao Yuanming is enjoying himself.

sitting by the stream fishing.

——Card [Tao Yuanming] growth +1.

——[Peach Blossom Spring] The skill effect has been improved, and you can bring one more partner into the Peach Blossom Spring.

Two lines of prompts suddenly appeared in the floating box.

Xiao Lou was slightly startled. When he first saw the description of the card's growth, he once asked the Guardian of Hearts how to increase the card's growth. The other party replied, "Each card has a different way of improving. Please explore it yourself."
